This photo is titled 'Corbusier 1931'. The car is a 1927 Avions Voisin C11 Saloon. The building is Le Corbusier designed Villa Savoye, which is radiused to a turning circle of a car which however was not a Voisin but 1927 Citroen.
the work of the famous architect Charles Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, known since 1920 as "Le Corbusier" who incidentally also had a passion for cars of its time.
from Dr. Christopher Wilson, Architecture and Design Historian, writing about early Modernist architects taking photographs of buildings with automobiles in front of them.
